Public Service Announcement Day

Are you looking for a fast and easy way to promote your organization’s mission and services? Each year, CCTV’s Public Service Announcement Day, or PSA Day, gives local non-profit organizations a chance to create informative PSAs that communicate the services they provide to the community.

PSAs are shown on CCTV's three cable stations, and have the potential of reaching more than 34,000 households! In addition, PSAs can be submitted to other television stations, uploaded to your organization's website, or used for any other public relations projects.

Register for PSA Day!

This year, PSA Day will take place on Wednesday, May 1 and Thursday, May 2 from 10 am to 5 pm. To sign up, all you need to do is call CCTV to schedule a 30-minute taping appointment, prepare a 30-second presentation, and show up for the recording appointment.

There is a registration fee that includes a copy of your PSA on DVD. The registration fee is $40 for non-CCTV members. A discounted rate of $20 is available to organizations that are CCTV members. Read about the benefits of Organizational Membership here. To become an organizational member, please complete this form.

After the recording appointment, CCTV staff will work on post-production for all PSAs and mail each participating organization a copy of their PSA on DVD. We can feature your organization's logo and up to 2 photos in the PSA.

Do You Need Help Preparing your PSA?

Each year, we offer a free one-hour workshop to provide organizations participating in PSA Day with tips about how to develop an effective PSA. We recommend that each participating organization attend one session. This year, the workshop will take place twice on Wednesday, April 10 at 10 am and again at 3 pm. Organizations can register for a session when scheduling their PSA Day recording appointment.
